Yeah I will be 10 by the time I had my first apt. I found out a week before my period was due so it feels like such a long time!

Where I live you phone up and make your booking appointment. They then make scan appointments for you. Do you have the number for the community midwives near you? Perhaps give them a call if not just to chase them up a bit. X

I’ve had my first initial appointment with GP who has referred me to a midwife but I haven’t heard from anyone just yet. He said it’s usually anytime up until when the first scan is. Shocking to be honest! No bloods/tests, nothing! Xx

16 weeks pregnant

Your baby, now about the size of an avocado, is about 10cm long from crown to rump. In the next three weeks she'll go through a tremendous growth spurt, doubling her weight and adding centimetres to her length. Read More
